Good luck tonight against Akron and Colorado in the NIT. The UCF/Colorado game is on ESPN3 while the Houston/Akron game is on ESPN U.

Attendance from last night's 1st round games. (Students at many schools are off for Spring Break, like UCF, which really hurts attendance, let alone 2-3 days only to sell Tix).

The attendance is going to be really bad. Sucks

That's why you keep winning as the students will be back for the later rounds

BYU expects to have 7-8K tonight. There would have been considerably more, then they moved tipoff for TV from 7pm to 9pm, local time. On a weeknight. Ugh.

I hope we win and get Houston (our head coach's alma mater) in the second round!

David Rose was co-captain of Phi Slama Jama in '82-'83. If we end up playing BYU, I hope we give him a nice recognition, since we've been honoring other former players this year, especially the Phi Slama Jama frat brothers, for the end of the Hofheinz Pavilion era.

I watched the 2nd half of the Cal debacle. Score is misleading. Bakersfield spanked them...in front of a few fans....last night it seemed the lower seeds beat the higher seeds in most of the games.
Cheers!

Just curious.... does the conference get any money from the NIT?

Not really. If you host you get a little from the gate

Bakersfield gave SMU a really good game earlier this year-I think we won by about 8 at home. Turns out Bakersfield is about Top 70-75 in RPI

UCF attendance was 3675
